Our Infographic is finally live! After countless hours, long nights and many moons of cups of coffee (?) - we can finally release our infographic that we've been working on over the past few weeks.

Bartender's top tip
Consistency is key in cocktail making. Use a jigger or a measuring tool to ensure that you're adding the correct amounts of each ingredient. This not only helps in balancing the flavors but also in replicating the success of a drink you’ve particularly enjoyed. It’s easy to adjust recipes when you know exactly how much of each ingredient is in the mix.
